Spencer Myers lost to Adam Coon in a matchup of top-10 heavyweights. Myers also fell to Coon at the Midlands Championships.

Midlands Magic

The Terps placed sixth at the Midlands Championships with a total team score of 68.5 points. The finish tied Maryland’s all-time best at the event (2009).

Sheptock and Boley’s Midlands’ titles were also the Terps’ first since 2009 when Alex Krom won the title at 141 pounds. Spencer Myers also scored big for the Terps, finishing sixth.

Sheptock won the title as the No. 2 seed in the 184-pound bracket. The senior wrestled a tight match with No. 1 seed Ethen Lofthouse of Iowa, with the match finishing 1-1 at the end of regulation. In the sudden death period, Sheptock was able to secure a takedown and the win after a single leg shot and a nice adjustment to the Hawkeye’s counter.

Boley, also a No. 2 seed, nabbed the title at 197 pounds. The New York native faced Purdue’s Braden Atwood in the final, and found himself in a 3-1 hole early the second period.

Scouting the Midshipmen

Navy enters Saturday’s contest with just one dual under its belt this season, a 33-3 victory over Boston University. Interim head coach Brian Antonelli’s squad has competed in seven tournaments, including the Cliff Kean Las Vegas Invitational and the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Three NCAA qualifiers from last season return for the Midshipmen, including nationally ranked Matt Miller. The 174-pound sophomore is 10-3 so far this season, and will present a difficult test for Tony Gardner. Michigan’s Collin Zeerip, who defeated Gardner by major decision in the Terps’ dual against the Wolverines, was pinned by Miller earlier this season.

The Terps and Midshipmen both competed at the Roadrunner Open in November and had a few of this weekend’s probable starters face off. Most notably, Jimmy Sheptock defeated Zach Johnson by tech fall and Shyheim Brown edged Joe Locksmith, 3-2. Also in Fresno, Colton Rasche defeated Tyler Goodwin, 6-3.

Beating the Best

Jimmy Sheptock has defended his undefeated record against some of the best 184-pound wrestlers in the country over the early part of the season.

The senior's match against Lofthouse pitted the consensus No. 2 and No. 3 wrestlers, in some order, at 184 pounds behind Penn State's Ed Ruth. Cornell freshman Gabe Dean, who recently defeated Ruth at the Southern Scuffle, lost to Sheptock at the Grapple at the Garden.

Sheptock also knocked off consensus top-10 competitor Max Thomusseit of Pittsburgh in the Terps' dual with the Panthers

The Pennsylvania native also took down Penn's Lorenzo Thomas, a top-15 184 pounder, in November. Sheptock leads the Terps in wins with 19.

Maryland head coach Kerry McCoy was named to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame's class of 2014, as announced by the organization.

McCoy finished his college career at Penn State University with an overall record of 115-18. A three-time All-American, he won the NCAA Heavyweight Title in 1994 and 1997

Following his college career, McCoy starred for his United States, earning a sliver medal at the 2003 World Championships and winning five straight U.S Open Freestyle Championships from 2000-2004. McCoy twice represented the U.S. at the Olympic Games, finishing fifth in 2000 and seventh in 2004.

McCoy was named Maryland head coach in 2008 and has accumulated a 77-25-1 record over five years. A three-time ACC Coach of the Year, McCoy has won three ACC titles and coached seven All-Americans since he arrived in College Park.

“I’m truly honored and humbled by this,” McCoy said. “I’ve seen so many greats get into the hall and knowing my name will be listed with them is unbelievable. I’m so happy.”

All Star Status

An All-American last season, Sheptock will look to improve on his finish at the NCAA Championship last season and defend his ACC tittle.
